I need a little help on a Stromberg carb. The J-3 I changed the spar on sat for 4 months with the gas turned off. I tried to start it today. I about wore my arm out propping it! The owner says he typically pulls the engine through 10 blades with the fuel on. Usually around the 7th blade there’s fuel dripping out of the carb. I pulled it through 20 blades 2-3 times and no fuel is dripping out. I disconnected the fuel line from the carb and turned the gas on. There was good flow. I than pulled the screen on the side of the carb it was good as well.
I am thinking a stuck float. Does anyone have experience with this? My arm thanks you in advance!
